one of my barn buds has the first saddle, and she loves it! I had a chance to ride her pny in it and it is a great hunt seat saddle, and comfy! The second saddle is nice, but did you notice that it only comes in 17 inches or above? not sure if that is your saddle size, but just warning you! for the blankets, zebra all the way, girl! :)
i suggest you go with the first one of the saddles.. unless you can get the second one in the exact correct size for you horses back so that way it wont hurt your horses backk.
we had a horse at my barn whose back was messed up for months because the saddle they used was pinching his back.
so i would recommend the first with the changeable gullet and then have a saddle fitter come out and look at it on the horse and that way if it needs to be adjusted you can just change the gullet instead of getting a whole new saddle.
and for the blanket i LOVE zebra toooo :) but i think the first one is very bright and i LOVEE thatt tooooo :)
hard decision. but i would be alot easier if i knew what the horse looked like.. i recommend just imagining each blanket on your horse and try and decide which one you think would look better on your horse
I would go with the 2nd saddle, just make sure you have the right size, haha (:
As for pads I like both (: But if you can't get the 2nd saddle in black then don't get the zebra (brown+black=XXX) but the splat and the brown seems like they would look fine together. Personally I would get the zebra and a black saddle (:
